Privacy Policy
This policy explains how information is handled when you use the DramaHop Android app (package name com.therediwala.dramahop) and its website (together, the “service”). The service is offered by THE Rediwala IT studio, an individual developer. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the service.
1. Information we collect
You do not need to create an account to watch. Information comes from what you provide, what the app records during use, and what advertising and measurement partners receive so the app can run.
- Watching and search. Shows you open, episodes you watch, where you stopped, favorites, watch history, and searches you type.
- Feedback. The message you send from Feedback, and an email address if you choose to include one.
- Rewards and withdrawals. Task and reward records where those features are available. If you request a withdrawal, the payment details you enter for that request.
- Device and network. Device model, operating system, language, carrier and SIM country, network type, whether a VPN connection is active, and IP address.
- Advertising ID and app set ID. The Google Advertising ID and app set ID. Android lets you reset or delete the advertising ID.
- Install source. Google Play install referrer information, which can show whether an install came from a campaign.
- Specific installed apps. The app checks whether particular apps are present, including app stores, browsers, and ad-blocking tools. It does not request the full installed-app list. This is used to open a suitable app, measure advertising, and detect fraud or abuse.
- Notifications. Only if you allow them. You can turn notifications off in Android settings.
- Display over other apps. Only if you grant this permission when asked. It is used to show a floating window. You can withdraw it in system settings.
- Diagnostics. Crash and performance information used to fix the app.
The app does not ask for your contacts, photos, microphone, or precise GPS location in order to watch a show.
2. How we use information
- Play episodes, remember a stopping point, and show favorites and history.
- Show content available for your region and language.
- Respond to feedback and review a withdrawal you requested.
- Show ads, record rewards for ads you choose to watch, measure installs, and limit repeated or failed ads.
- Understand how the app is used and fix crashes.
- Detect fraud, abuse, and attempts to bypass regional or reward rules.
- Meet legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
3. Advertising, measurement, and diagnostics
The app includes third-party software for ads, measurement, and stability, including:
- Ad mediation: TopOn, TradPlus, and AppLovin MAX.
- Ad networks: Google AdMob, AppLovin, Pangle, Meta Audience Network, Unity Ads, ironSource (Unity LevelPlay), Mintegral, Liftoff (Vungle), Digital Turbine (Fyber), InMobi, Moloco, BidMachine, Amazon Publisher Services, Chartboost, Smaato, Bigo Ads, TaurusX, and Kwai Ads.
- Measurement and diagnostics: Adjust, Google Firebase Analytics, and Firebase Crashlytics.
These providers may receive an advertising ID, device and network information, IP address, and events such as an app open or an ad view. They process that information under their own policies. Some ads may be personalized unless you opt out in Android settings.
Personal information is not sold for money. Some privacy laws treat use of an advertising ID for cross-app advertising as sharing or targeted advertising.
4. When information is shared
- With the providers listed above, for the purposes in this policy.
- With a payment provider, limited to the details needed for a withdrawal you requested.
- With providers that host content, servers, or video playback, only to provide that service.
- When a law, court, or government authority requires it, or to protect users or the service from fraud or abuse.
- As part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with this policy continuing to apply to the transferred information.
5. International transfers and retention
Servers and partners may be located outside your country. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for those transfers.
Watch history, favorites, and searches are kept while they are useful for the feature you use. Feedback, reward, and withdrawal records are kept long enough to handle the request, disputes, and accounting. Advertising and diagnostic data is kept for measurement, security, and fraud prevention. Information is deleted or de-identified when it is no longer needed, unless the law requires it to be kept.
6. Security
Data sent between the app and its servers is encrypted in transit. No storage or transmission method is perfectly secure. Do not send passwords or full payment card numbers in a feedback message.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, to object to or restrict certain uses, and to withdraw consent. You can:
- Clear favorites and history in the app where those controls are shown.
- Turn off notifications, withdraw display-over-other-apps permission, and reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings.
- Email therediwala@gmail.com and describe what you want deleted. A few details may be needed to find the record, and information required by law may be kept.
A privacy request will not by itself be a reason to refuse the service. Rewards, history, or withdrawals cannot work if the information they need is removed.
8. Children
DramaHop is not directed at children under 13, and personal information is not knowingly collected from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, email the address below and it will be deleted.
9. This website
The DramaHop website is a static page. It does not run an account system or set its own tracking cookies. A link to Google Play or another site is covered by that destination’s policy.
10. Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will be updated and the new version will be posted at this address. Continued use after that date means the new version applies to information collected afterward.
